St. Patrick's Day

So, yes the leprechauns visited our house with green hand and foot prints on the walls and floor, and confetti up the stairs to a pot of gold (candy). We had corn beef and cabbage, green kool-aid, and a fruit rainbow. It was a great day. Of course, my kids had cute green shirts but for some reason I forgot to take a picture...
Happy St. Patrick's Day couldn't decide which picture is better...I think they may be the same.

Rainbow Cupcakes

Every Sunday is our baking day...the kids love to cook with mom. We usually make a treat that we have never had before or we do something simple but tons of fun. So this past Sunday we decided to try a recipe that I found in the family fun magazine, rainbow cupcakes. I didn't think it would work because my recipes usually end in disaster and frustration. I always follow the recipe but it fails to look like the picture until this time. It worked. The kids were so excited. The topping is whip cream...suppose to be a cloud.
And here's the rainbow. Really cool and yummy
